Stick that halo up your ass
Under pressure from reboobs and conservative groups, CBS is expected to announce as early as today that it is canceling its plans to run its Ronald Reagan, Senile Antichrist mini-series in November.
BUT ... the film would most likely instead be handed over to CBS's pay-cable sibling, Showtime. From the NY Times:
Showtime, which like CBS is a division of Viacom, does not have the same advertising and ratings concerns as does the broadcast network. With a mission to garner enough water-cooler talk to draw new subscribers, premium pay cable networks like Showtime are less concerned with their overall ratings pictures and thus less susceptible to boycott threats.In other words, a nice little 'f*ck you' to the repukes. Hopefully.
